“Soon they will all be dead. And it will be because I have failed them.”

Before she was Nephilim, a progeny of the Fallen, she was just a girl from Brewster, New York.
A freak of nature.
The strange.
The different.
The other.
But then she received the calling to find her true home and take her rightful place in the subterranean world of Babylon.
There she would learn that she was the last hope for the survival of Humanity. And she would be forced to choose between the world where she found nothing but pain and rejection, and the world where she was accepted and revered.

Excerpt:

Damn it! They never had a chance!

Her face grimaced as those
words ran through her mind; her breath short and fleeting as the thirst for
revenge surged through her.

She gripped her hand even
tighter around her sword and pulled it from the tree.

Strangely, she took some
comfort in the screams of terror, screams, which still surrounded them, for it
was a sign, though stabbing at the heart, that not all humans in the city had
fallen and hope had not been lost.

Soon, they will all be
dead. And it will be because I have failed them.

She thought about her own
human family meeting the same fate―that it would not be long before Arcadium
and his army reached the threshold of Brewster.

Her eyes glowed in horror
through a veil of tears, clouding her vision while she stared at the mangled
mess of body parts―human, Nephilim, and Epoch alike, arranged in some freakish
mélange of death art.

"Their deaths will not be in vain, not so long as I still breathe, and
the last drop of human blood still flows through my Nephilim veins,” she
declared.

“Sister, be careful of your
words,” whispered Silla―her Nephilim sister―reminding her of the dangers of
showing favor of humans over Nephilim. After all, she was now Nephilim, a
natural enemy to humanity. And anything else would have been a betrayal to the
Dominion of the fallen.

Doesn't that sound awesome! I can't wait to read this - my review will be coming as soon as I do.
